How to Make an Access Request Access Request Form You are encouraged to make a preliminary enquiry by contacting our GM Remote Energy (the details are listed on page 5 of this guide). You can make an access request at any time in accordance with the below process. An access request form (see Annexure A) must be submitted. The request must contain sufficient detail to allow us to properly process your request, including:

when access is required;

details of the capacity required and the duration for which this capacity is sought;

the inlet point at which you require gas to be received into the pipeline and the outlet point at which you require gas to be delivered from the pipeline;

relevant technical details for any new interconnection to the pipeline, and

any other information that may reasonably be required to process your access request.

Upon receipt of an access request form, we will notify you in writing within 5 business days that:

further information is required to process your request, or

your access request is compliant and we will begin processing your access request.

We will notify you within 10 business days of receiving a compliant access request whether we will need to undertake further investigations in order to process your request. We will respond to your access request within the following timeframes:

if further investigation is required, within 60 business days of receipt of a compliant access request; or

otherwise, within 20 business days of receipt of a compliant access request.

Access Offer A response to a compliant access request will either:

include an access offer, with details of the price and other terms and conditions on which we grant access to the pipeline, the technical and performance specifications and any works to be undertaken by you or us and be in a form capable of acceptance so as to constitute a new access contract; or

advise that we are unable to make an access offer and the reasons why the services cannot be provided.

We are not required to make an access offer if the access request has been withdrawn, is not technically feasible or consistent with the safe and reliable operation of the pipeline to grant access, having used all reasonable efforts to accommodate your requirements or would require an extension of the pipeline.

Further Investigations If we have advised that further investigations are required in accordance with the process set out above, we will outline a proposal to facilitate the investigations (Investigation Proposal). The Investigation Proposal will outline:

the nature and scope of the investigation;

a detailed plan and schedule for completion of the investigation; and

an estimate of the reasonable costs of the investigation required to be met by you.

As stated above, where further investigations are required, an access offer will be made within 60 business days of receipt of a compliant access request, unless otherwise agreed. Section 559(7) of the National Gas Rules requires that we, as a service provider and you as a prospective user, must negotiate in good faith about the terms and conditions applying to the carrying out of any further investigations. This includes matters relating to the determination of reasonable costs of the further investigations and any extension to the time period for responding to an access request to allow further investigations to be completed.

Confidentiality Any information exchanged during the access request process will be dealt with in accordance with Energy Generation’s Confidentiality Agreement (see Annexure B).

Negotiations and Dispute Resolution Under section 216G of the National Gas Law, we as a service provider and you as a prospective user, have a duty to negotiate in good faith regarding whether access can be granted and the terms and conditions for the provision of access. Under section 216J of the National Gas Law, any person who makes an access request has the right to refer an access dispute to the scheme administrator for arbitration.

1. OBLIGATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY

1.1 Each party acknowledges that Confidential Information of another party is confidential to that other party and

2. PERMITTED DISCLOSURE AND USE

2.1 This agreement does not prohibit disclosure by the Recipient of Confidential Information in the following

circumstances:

(a) (representative) to a Related Body Corporate or an officer, employee, adviser or agent of the Recipient or a Related Body Corporate who needs the Confidential Information for the Purpose, provided that (before disclosure is made) the Recipient ensures that each such person is informed of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed and the requirement that it not be disclosed to any other person and not be used except for the Purpose;

(b) (law) if it is required by law or by the rules of a stock exchange binding the Recipient, provided that the

2.2 The Recipient may use and copy Confidential Information to the extent necessary for the Purpose. 2.3 The Recipient is responsible for any disclosure, reproduction or use of the Confidential Information where

clause 2.1(a) applies and/or by its officers, employees, advisers and agents as if such disclosure, reproduction or use were made by the Recipient, and the Recipient must take such steps as may be necessary to prevent any disclosure, reproduction or use that would be contrary to this agreement.

2.4 For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this agreement prohibits a party from disclosing its own Confidential
